書院樂隊開場表演十分精彩。

On Thursday 25th September, Stanley Ho East Asia College (SHEAC) House Association (HA) hosted a wonderful charity show in the open plaza between W11 and W13 on the campus. This event not only demonstrated the serious effort of both the performers and the HA leaders and members as the organizer, but also acquired other students and teachers’ encouragement and support.

At 7:30pm, a large crowd already gathered in front of the College. As the dusk came on, the long-awaited show began with a vibrant opening performance by the College’s band (Lai Yu-Ju, Tian Menghan, Andy Hou and Honey Chan).

The hosts Esther Song and Wesley Lao gave the audience a big surprise by introducing a special guest of the event – a very cute man-sized Minion (costume worn by a student volunteer). Everyone was very excited while seeing the Minion walking around. In addition to the performances, an array of commodities and “homemade” snacks were also up for sale at the venue.

Mila Zhang played piano and sang “When You” (當你). Sharon Wang also soloed “The Things You Don’t Know” (你不知道的事). Both showed very beautiful voices. Meanwhile, Zhong Shenke performed a popping solo with “Show Girl”, Liu Naibin played a violin solo “Csárdás Dance”, and Stephanie Ng played a piano piece “The Truth That You Leave”. All expressed their love and passion for music.

As a short break, more than a lottery, the Bingo games brought waves of laughter among the audience, adding some festive joy to the campus.

As the second half of the show began, Zhao Yuxin brought us an astonishing yo-yo show called “Twilight”, which really impressed the audience. It was followed by Sofia Zhang’s erhu solo “Mercedes-Benz in Prairie” and Janet Li’s violin solo “He’s a Pirate”. The team performance by Samuel Chang and Alan Vong of two beautiful songs “Endless Love” (新不了情) and “Youth Anthem” (青春頌) brought the charity show to a perfect end.

It is true that we did not have first-class actors or lighting and audio technicians. However, the performers prepared their parts seriously, organizers and helpers contributed quietly, and the students as audience showed enthusiastic support throughout the show. All these made almost every bit of this charity show flawless. Although the event had finished, the hard work of the organizers and performers, and the caring heart of students have moved many of us in the College and beyond. It lets us understand that spending time and effort meaningfully can also make us feel very happy.

9月25日何鴻燊東亞書院舉辦了一場精彩的義演籌款活動,本次活動凝結了書院學生會及演出同學們近一個月的心血,同時也得到了同學和老師們的熱心鼓勵與支持。

7點30分,大家不約而同來到了書院門前的廣場,現場擺放了琳瑯滿目的小商品和與同學們精心製作的可口食品,這些義賣品無疑成為了同學們收到的第一份驚喜。同時,在緩緩落下的夜幕中,隨著書院樂隊(賴鈺儒、田孟涵、侯蓀杰、陳俊成)精彩的開場表演,大家期盼已久的演出活動開始了。

我們的主持人宋文星(Esther)和劉永業(Wesley)同學為我們送出了第二份驚喜,請出了我們本次活動的特邀嘉賓——可愛的小黃人。緊接著張米拉(Mila)同學的鋼琴彈唱《當你》,還有王聖璐(Sharon)同學的獨唱《你不知道的事》,展現屬於青春的美妙的聲音。同時,鍾深珂同學的Popping Solo《Show Girl》,劉乃斌同學的小提琴獨奏《查爾達什舞曲》和吳佩雯同學的鋼琴演奏《The Truth That You Leave》也表達了對音樂的熱愛與追求。

接下來,就是最讓觀眾們激動的Bingo劵抽獎活動環節了。在各個與其說是抽獎倒不如說是遊戲的時候,大家的歡聲笑語使校園初秋的風景平添了一絲節日的喜氣洋洋。

下半場的演出開始,由趙宇新同學為我們帶來的花式悠悠球表演《暮光之城》著實讓現場的每位同學都大吃一驚。仿佛平時熒屏上那些悠悠球競技大賽的高手來到了我們的書院。隨後是張天嬌(Sofia)同學的二胡獨奏《奔馳在千里草原》與李文嘉同學(Janet)的小提琴獨奏《He’s a Pirate》。最後在曾譽昇(Samuel)和黃安麟(Alan)兩位同學優美的歌聲中,本次義演以《新不了情》和《青春頌》兩首歌曲畫上了圓滿的句號。

誠然,我們沒有一流的演員與燈光音響師。但是,演出人員精心的準備,工作人員辛苦的默默付出和現場同學們的支持卻讓這一次義演變的無可挑剔。在場的同學都完美的用我們的青春與熱情詮釋了愛心,也正如結尾歌曲所唱的「緣可了,情難了」。活動結束了,但是同學們的愛心和工作人員的辛苦都讓每一個人感動,讓我們明白了青春的快樂不一定要以揮霍為代價,一次有意義的付出也會讓我們覺得十分幸福。
